Chapter 1766 You Have a Point

lan replied to his text message, telling him to update lan once he found any information regarding the matter. Logan was more of a busybody than lan was, so Logan would definitely contact him to nag and gossip about the matter once he got more news about it. Ian turned to look at Cindy once he finished sending his text. "What else do you want to know?" he asked as he pinched her cheek.

She shook her head. "That's all. I'm not that much of a busybody; I was just curious about this." Ian responded with a half-hearted nod. "Sure, sure, sure. You always mind your own business, and you never stick your nose into other people's matters," he uttered in a sarcastic tone.

Cindy could tell that he was teasing her, so she raised her hand to give him a punch on the shoulder. "Stop fooling around! I'm going to start lecturing you if you keep annoying me," she grumbled.

He recalled something at that moment, and he hastily nodded. "Okay, okay. It's all my fault," he replied. He had to admit his wrongdoing sometimes-otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get the right things in other aspects of his life.

A while later, Logan rang lan's phone to tell lan that he had received information regarding Leah. Apparently, Bryce had locked Leah up in the basement, and he even gave her a harsh beating with his cane before he sent her in. Although Bryce was getting old and weak, he was still fierce when he got violent. It was said that Leah had sustained a number of injuries after the beating and that she was bleeding by the time she was sent to the basement. No treatment was given to her wounds after that.

lan merely nodded when he heard the news. It looks like Bryce is really mad at her. I guess it's understandable. After all, Bryce has been sticking to the rules in recent years, and he hasn't been the center of any scandals or rumors for a while. He was trying to polish his reputation as he grew older, but he hadn't expected his woman to go against his wishes. Bryce has never been a good-tempered man, so I'm sure he started to lose it when things began to surface in public. It's no surprise that he's furious now since his matters are all over the news. Leah's lucky that she only received one beating. I bet Bryce would've done worse if he was physically capable of it.

After that, Logan told lan that Bryce had already gotten a lawyer to change the contents of his will a few days ago. However, there were rumors that Bryce had called the lawyer over to his place once more. No one knew what Bryce was up to.

lan didn't care about such matters, so he merely sighed and uttered an offhand comment. "I wonder how much his wealth is it must be huge if he's looking for a lawyer almost every day."

The most valuable thing that Bryce owned was Morgan Group, and that was definitely going to be handed to Sean. There wasn't much else that lan could long for. Since Leah had been with Bryce for so long, she had definitely pocketed some of his money. If she wasn't a big-spender, then whatever money she had was probably enough to keep her well-dressed and fed for the rest of her life. Yet, humans were never satisfied-they would always let greed get the better of them.

Logan paused for a moment before he continued speaking. "I think the old man might leave you quite a huge sum of money. You shouldn't look down on whatever you get. You deserve the inheritance, and you have to hold on to it to piss the family of three off."

lan chuckled. "How many people do you think would be pissed off if I donated the money?"

Logan froze as he hadn't expected lan to say such a thing. Logan knew that lan didn't need the money. Bryce may leave him a fortune, but lan's job in the entertainment industry paid well enough for him to earn the same amount within a few years' time. Ian was one of the most famous celebrities at that moment, so it made sense that he wasn't interested in Bryce's money.

Once again, Logan contemplated lan's words for a moment before he spoke. "You can make your decision after the old man leaves. You shouldn't bring up anything about your distant relationship with the old man now. If they replace out about it, they will take it seriously, and the old man might die from having too much anger in him. I bet he's already weak after dealing with Leah's actions. You might really piss him to his death if he replaces out."

lan let out a laugh. "You do have a point."
